It is my favorite blend so far, but I tried to be objective! I would personally recommend it for sure!

Not nearly as bad as I expected. One can actually taste orange and honey, although it tents to get bitter towards the end of the bowl. Still, very little tongue bite for a Borkum Riff Aromatic, and not a lousy casual smoke.

In the Pouch,it have e very pleasant flavour, bu somewhat "dry". During Smoking, This is a very Sweet,but not so Mild Tobacco. The flavour-scent-taste or Orange is cleary noted, but the Honey is not easily perceptible. It also have bitter residual taste. This tobacco burns very easily and hot. Because of this,it should be smoked slowly. I like it, but seems to me that this tobacco is only for people that cleary enjoy very Sweet Cavendish Tobaccos.

Bleccch! Horrible! Don't! Neither oranges nor honey taste like this. Hot, cheap and nasty. Yet another gruesome clunker from Borkum Riff. Obviously there's a market for this kind of confectionery, but I can't imagine why. I wouldn't smoke a bowl of it again for a million dollars. (That probably isn't quite true, but you know what I mean ...).

I feel a fool for even admitting that I bought a packet of this stuff. This tobacco is syrupy and sweet as molasses. I detected no honey, and very little orange. Orange in the sense of orange-flavoured cough syrup, not freshly cut orange. The same goes for the aftertaste. Not wanting to waste a single gram of tobacco, I blended this with an equal amount of pure Southern African burley. The result is something which is passable for smoking at a barbeque, or similar outdoors event where discrimination is not required. On the plus side, this tobacco burns easily, so could be worthwhile for someone new to pipe smoking who is still learning how to do it, but it will surely spoil the pipe. Not recommended at all.

In brief, I would not think of buying it again.

The only lenience one would have towards such mixture would be excused due one's past relation to such a cheap aromatic (romantic post-adolescent experimentation that is). As I found myself, outside this Romantisised context to test this tobacco, I must protest against its vulgar casing, its biting qualities and its tangy-bitter attack it undertakes on one's throat. My advice would be to pursue elsewhere for aromatics.

This blend is not as bad as some would say, but it can bite no honey taste and burns wet. but it is not a bad tasting tobacco and its farily cheap tobacco. still compared to Davidoff Danish, its crap.

Smoking this one is like smoking mouldy oranges. Why they advertise it as Orange and Honey I don't know. The honey is barely detectable. Each to their own though, a friend of mine likes this one, but I wouldn't even rate it. Like all the other BR blends I've tried so far, this one bites, sometimes quite hard. I couln't even muster the stubborness to finish a pouch of this mould in a bag.
